Russian Territory Service
T

ricolor TV, the largest digital
television Russian operator, in
partnership with NEOTION, a specialist
in developing innovative solutions
for digital television, are launching
a new service for the B2B segment,
called "Territory of Tricolor TV" in the
broadcasting footprint of the satellite
Eutelsat 36C.
Since November 2017, Tricolor TV
offers companies improved quality
of service, increased customer
satisfaction and loyalty with its new
Tricolor TV service, with equipment
developed and manufactured by
NEOTION, which includes a dedicated
compact hybrid media server and
required components.
Alexei Karpov, Deputy General
Director for Development of Linear TV,
Tricolor TV, said: "As a result of the
fruitful cooperation between Tricolor
TV and NEOTION, the service "Territory
of Tricolor TV" will allow us to quickly
expand our presence beyond the

traditional linear [model] of television
broadcasting. It is an innovative
product thanks to which B2B
customers of Tricolor TV will be able
to improve their attractiveness for
visitors and their loyalty by providing
access to high-quality modern
television on personal smartphones
and electronic tablets".
A hybrid media server, NEOTION
enables viewers to watch multiscreen video content from mobile
devices (smartphones or electronic
tablets with Android or
iOS operating system)
through the use of IP
multicast via satellite.
Combining NEOTION's
software and hardware
innovations, as well
as the high-quality
content of Tricolor
TV, the service allows
organisations
to
offer viewers dozens

of different channels. The service
may be available on up to 50 devices
simultaneously and does not require
high data transfer speed (100 Kbps).
The service is scalable and capable of
expanding technical coverage.
Broadcasting the channels is carried
out using IP-technology. The NEOTION
compact hybrid media server connects
directly to a satellite network (DVB-S2)
and local Wi-Fi router and allows users
"Territory of Tricolor TV" to enjoy
watching high-quality television on

individual mobile devices.
The NEOTION solution allows
individual broadcasts to each mobile
device by combining the satellite
signal and Internet connection
with low connection speeds. It is
a revolution in the use of network
capabilities, as IP technologies
integration for multi-screen viewing
was a top concern for operators
because of the high-traffic mode of
consumption. The scalability and
flexibility of NEOTION's solution will
allow Tricolor TV in the near
future to add the offer of nonlinear services.
The end-user simply needs
to download the free app
Smotry TV (Watch TV)
on the mobile device to
enable viewing of the
Tricolor TV channels on
the mobile device onpremises connected to
the service totally free.
